The EYBL took the County of Kings by storm in its first session of the 2016 season and then followed that up with session 2 at a majestic basketball facility in Indianapolis in back to back weeks.
Documenting the journey of the EYBL and its forty squads from North America has been an incredible journey in its own right. I'm happy to share an 18-second video clip that I think shows how fast the action of the EYBL comes and goes, like a magnificent storm of elite basketball. Keep scrolling for a few more of my favorite images from the first two sessions.
